About

In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) twice daily will be compared with degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) once daily plus insulin aspart (IAsp) twice daily after 16weeks of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This trial will enable primary assessment of the clinically relevant endpoint of a change in HbA1c.

Full description

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of IDegAsp twice daily compared with IDegAsp once daily plus IAsp twice daily for 16 weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary endpoint in this study is the change from baseline in HbA1c. Patients with type 2 diabetes who meet the entry criteria are planned for inclusion in this trial. Approximately 224 patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients who qualify will be randomized to IDegAsp group or IDegAsp + IAsp group. Duration of treatment includes 3-week screening period, 16-week treatment observation period and 1-week follow-up.

Enrollment: 224 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• 12. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; those who have a pregnancy plan during the entire trial period and are unwilling to take one or more non-drug contraceptive measures (such as complete abstinence, contraceptive ring, partner ligation, etc.) during the trial;

• 14. Those who are not suitable to participate in the trial according to the investigator's judgment, or any clinically significant disease or condition that the investigator believes may affect the results of the trial, such as: a history of hemolytic anemia or sickle cell anemia, a previous history of tumor or cancer Patients with a medical history, patients with a known history of alcohol, drug or drug abuse, blood transfusions or severe blood loss within the first 3 months of screening, or patients with poor adherence in the judgment of the investigator.
